A solid laundry detergent composition having: (a) detersive surfactant; (b) bluing agent; and (c) from 0 wt % to 10 wt % zeolite builder; (d) from 0 wt % to 10 wt % phosphate builder; and (e) optionally, one or more additional laundry detergent ingredients.

A polymeric dye compound, photosensitive resin composition comprising the same and use thereof are disclosed. The polymeric dye compound comprises three kinds of monomeric units. The photosensitive resin composition comprises a colorant, an alkali-soluble resin, a polymerizable monomer and a polymerization initiator, wherein the colorant comprises the polymeric dye compound and a pigment. The polymeric dye compound is prepared by copolymerization of styrenic monomer and other monomers, such that a colored layer having excellent heat resistance, light resistance and high transmittance can be formed.

There is provided a resin-treated pigment that is useful as a coloring agent for color filters or inkjet inks, that can expand a hue range and improve performances such as color density, color developability, and transparency, and that is excellent in properties such as dispersibility and dispersion stability of pigments, re-dissolvability, and alkali-solubility. An A-B block copolymer 90% by mass or more of which is constituted by a methacrylate-based monomer or methacrylate-based monomers, in which the block A has a carboxy group-containing methacrylate as a constituent, and the block B has an ionic bond moiety represented by formula (1) as a constitutional unit, the ionic bond moiety containing a methacrylate, and an organic coloring matter having one or more sulfonate ions each being bonded thereto and each being a counter ion of a nitrogen cation of a quaternary ammonium salt.

The present disclosure relates to polymers which contain a hydrophobic and hydrophilic segment which is sensitive to pH. In some aspects, the polymers form a micelle which is sensitive to pH and results in a change in fluorescence based upon the particular pH. In some aspects, the disclosure also provides methods of using the polymers for the imaging of cellular or extracellular environment or delivering a drug.

This invention relates to particles comprising a core particle and a polymeric shell, a process for their preparation, electrophoretic fluids comprising such particles, and electrophoretic display devices comprising such fluids.

Bis(azo-benzene) diamine monomers and a method of synthesizing the monomers are provided. The bis(azo-benzene) diamine monomers, in combination with amine reactive monomers, form polymers, such as polyimides and copolyimides, having photomechanical and thermomechanical properties.

The present invention provides a compound capable of improving the dispersibility of yellow, magenta, cyan, and black pigments in a water-insoluble solvent and a pigment-dispersing agent. The present invention also provides a pigment composition, a pigment dispersion, and a toner, which have satisfactory tinting strength. The present invention relates to a compound having a structure in which an azo skeleton structure is bound to a polymer portion via a linking group in the azo skeleton structure.

The present application relates to novel whitening agents for cellulosic substrates. The whitening agents are comprised of at least two constituents: at least one chromophore constituent and at least one polymeric constituent.
